And did you force the rest of the class into quarantine or get your kid tested? [/quote]

Ridiculous question. Nobody is forcing a class to quarantine. Tested and false alarm[/quote]

At our school, multiple full classes are currently in quarantine based on one student exhibiting one symptom. [/quote]

Which school?[/quote]

Every single school. No principal, teacher, superintendent is making health decisions. The Department of Health and by extension the nurses and health techs in the school make all of these decisions.   [/quote]

They're implementing Superintendent McKnight's policy once symptoms are identified by the teacher. There isn't much for the nurses to do once it gets to them.[/quote]

What makes you think that is Dr. McKnights policy? The community message I received said at the direction of the Department of Health.  [/quote]

Because it was the Superintendent's decision. She got advice from Gayles, but it was her decision whether to follow the CDC or go with Gayles. She chose Gayles.[/quote]

I know people don't understand things but the CDC says the same thing Gayles says. Call them
and ask they have a hotline.  And I doubt any school district is going to go against the recommendation of their county health officer. [/quote]

Our county health officer didn’t let our schools open last year, remember? [/quote]

Right that's my point, direct the outrage towards the health department not the school system
That is just following what they were told. [/quote]

MCPS doesn’t have to listen to Gayles. They should know better by now. It’s a big enough district that it could have hired its own consultant by now. The school board even brought this up after it was clear Gayles was a nut job.[/quote]
